Benefits of Acrylic Stucco

There are a lot of aspects to a house that are important, but that are often overlooked.  Stucco is one such item.  

Who thinks about stucco?  We do!

 
Lately we have been using a lot of Acrylic Stucco.  Acrylic Stucco is  vastly different than the traditional (cement, sand, and lime) stucco that has been used on homes for the last century.  LaHabra's Perma-Flex acrylic stucco by Parex USA is made from acrylic resins or polymers, sand, and crushed quartz and has an inherent elasticity and ability to stretch and thus resists hairline and minor cracking.  This will keep the home looking like new even longer. 

The stucco is low maintenance.  It is made with Dirt Pick-Up Resistance (DPR), which means that the non-tacky surface of acrylic stucco provides high resistance to accumulation of dirt, mold, and pollutants.  The finish hardens and does not soften again under heat. 


The finish is integrally colored with fade-resistant pigments (long lasting) that remain consistent from one batch to the next, so the home has a constant color from front to back, even if more than one batch of color was used.  It also comes in an array of rich and vibrant colors that aren't always found with traditional stucco.
 

You can also choose the finish texture, which comes in fine, smooth, coarse, or even swirl texture.   
  


When tested for weathering, flexibility, freeze/thaw resistance, scrub resistance, and yellowness after UV exposure, the stucco passed with tremendous results.  All of these reasons make this stucco an economical and low maintenance choice.
